STAND FOR HENII'TG SHOES.

Application filed May 1,

My invention relates to movable toot sup ports on the stand so as to facilitate the engagement of the seat by a person whose slices are shined, to eliminate the danger of soiling the clothing of a person while ting on or oil the stand, and also to provide a step which automatically collapses when the toot rest is in the vertical position, thus making room for the free movements of the 19 worlnnan.

An object of the invention is to provide simple, eni nt -and inexpensive device which, in addition to serving as a foot rest will also serve as a step for facilitating the walking of a person on to or from the stand. ll ith the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination nd arrangement of parts as herein :tully ClGSQI'JlJQQl, illustrated and claimed.

in the accompanying drawings, formin part of the application, similar of reference indicate correspending parts in all the views.

i fl is a side clevational view of the stand.

iteterring to the drawings:

ii *1 shown, 17 also assists edge of 15 into its socket stop which. helps support the a horizontal p tion alter the same has revolved downward through an angle of ing a supporting base for the foot rest. The ligand the stop thus limit the angular rotation of 15 to an angle of 90.

When in the lower position as shown by Figure l, the plates, being free from the socket, fall inwardly and together form a complete step being held in position by stops 18.

An. important feature of the invention is that the step-0f the lowered position is transformed into a supporting brace when in the upright position and hence interferes in no way with the operations of shining shoes.

Another important feature is that this de vice may be attached to the conventional type of elevated stand without any alterations of the same, except the removal of one or both of each pair of the old fixed type of foot rests. It is only necessary, however, to replace but one of each pair of the old rests, since it merely requires one of the movable type to create a step for the platform, alta lflll of course two make a wider step.

claim A stand for shining shoes comprising a eat, a foot rest post associated therewith, and mounted to swing to and from the seat to an elevated and a lowered position, a folding step pivotally depending from the post, a stop on said post, whereby the step is mai tained horizontally when the said post is in the lowered position.

ii stand for shining shoes comprising a seat, a foot rest post adapted to be moved to and from the seat to an elevated and a lowered pos i-lOl'l, means for pivotally supp .rting said post a plate, pivotal means on said post supporting said plate in a vertical position, integral means on said post, forming a stop for said plate, whereby a step is formed when the post is in the lowered position.

3. In combination astand, a right and a left foot rest post adapted to be raised or lowered, a plate pivotally supported by each post, a stop on the left and the right side of each post respectively, sockets supported by said stand, pivoting means in said sockets 'for said posts, whereby when said posts are lowered, the plates swing toward each other and form a step.

l. A shoe shining stand comprising a support, a socket mounted on said support, a pivot means associated with said socket, a foot rest post on said pivot means, a plate hingedly supported from said foot rest post and having a notch formed near one end, stopping means on said foot rest post to guide said plate into said socket, and locking means on said support adapted to engage in said notch wherebysaid post is maintained in operative position.

5. A stand for shining shoes comprising a foot platform, a foot rest post associated therewith and mounted to swing above and below the level of the platform, means comprising a swinging plate hinged to said post for forming a step in said lowered position and means cooperating with said plate for transforming said step into a support for the post when above the platform level to fixedly support the post in an upright position.

6. A combined foot rest and step for the purposes described, comprising, a socket, a foot rest, means for pivotally securing it in said socket, a plate, means for hingedly securing said plate to said rest, means cooperating with said rest to limit the movement of the plate to a perpendicular position relative to the plane of said rest.

7. A combined foot rest and step for the purposes described, comprising, a socket, a foot rest, means for pivotally'securing said rest in said socket, a plate cooperating with said socket, means for hin'gedly securing said plate to said rest, means cooperating with said rest to limit the movement of the 1 plate to a position determined by the plane formed by the rest and the socket, means for locking said plate in said socket.
